Howdy partner, welcome to * 80Days * COPPER CANYON & WIND RIVER (Moderate)

Sim Description

Copper Canyon is a barren frontier area in the Old West. Under the burning sun lies an arid landscape

of red rocks, forming the canyon after which the area was named. WIND RIVER, in contrast, 

is a busy Wild West town amid high green hills. Photogenic, RP

“The Wild West didn't have much in the way of forensics;

when you saw the bullet hole you'd say, 'That's prob'ly what kilt 'im.”

― P.K. Vandcast

LOL, OMG love this quote. It is sooo funny LOL!!! :P

Can't stop laughing.

OMG, the tiny pictures are sooo cute. But if you click them they'll grow. Don't worry, they don't bite. ;)

But really, this location is one of the best I've seen. A great place for riding horses and taking pictures.

One of my favorite things about this place is that most of the buildings are actually decorated

inside. With furniture and all, also great for indoor photography.

How about some cowgirl quotes now from some famous people? Here are some of my favorites. ;)

●"Cowgirls don't cry, they just dust off and ride." – Brooks & Dunn

●"Good girls are made of sugar and spice, cowgirls are made of whiskey on ice." – Rita Cynder

●"She's whiskey in a teacup." – Unknown

●"Don't be a lady, be a legend." – Dolly Parton

●"A cowgirl is a woman with guts and a horse." – Unknown

●"Give a girl the right pair of boots and she can conquer the world." – Marilyn Monroe

Now, we have come to the highlight of my outings, and that is when I get the honor of meeting beautiful

people. During my visit to * 80Days * COPPER CANYON & WIND RIVER I got the chance to meet a

beautiful couple. They are Anna Thespian (annaerwins) and TONY Thespian, both beautiful people both

inside and out. When I first noticed them I smiled because they looked so beautiful together. And

after I talked to them I felt how friendly and kind they both were. Sending a HUGE hug to both of them.

May their love continue growing and they always find much happiness in each other. ♥

Next, we have Don Logan (donlogan2000), top left pic, absolutely one of the friendliest people

you can meet. He is actually the one who with the friendliness that he showed me broke the funk I was

in about continuing to feature other people in my blog. I had decided not to do it anymore 

for reasons I will explain very soon. But Don reminded me of the joy I feel every time I introduce the

beautiful people I meet in Second Life. So really it is thanks to him that I will start once again going

paparazzi on everyone. ;) Thank you Don, sending a hug your way, Cheers!

Now who doesn't know NadySapa (Top-right Pic)! This beautiful-rare beauty is no other than the owner

and pose designer of Sapa Poses. She is the one person I have run into more times than any other person

I know. I am not sure if she is always following me or if I am the one following her. But no matter who

is following who, it is always wonderful to see her. She always has an interesting and beautiful, different

look. A hug going her way!

Now we finally come to the end.

I was very happy when my Steppenwolf joined me in this exploration.

After riding our horses through the dust, we needed a drink, so we visited the town's saloon

for some whisky.

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): more whiskey here!

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): damn this place is slow

Lori Novo: and make them a double

Lori Novo: AND HURRY!!!

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): wheres the barkeep?

After we got kicked out for being too loud and causing trouble, for good reason, we went back to our

hotel room.

"DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAAAAA

DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAAAA!

Cause I saddle up my horse

and I ride into the city

I make a lot of noise

Cause the girls

They are so pretty

Riding up and down Broadway

on my old stud Leroy

And the girls say

Save a horse, ride a cowboy.

Everybody says

Save a horse, Ride a cowboy..."

Laters!

At The Foot Of The Mountain

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”

― Edgar Allan Poe

La Alegria

~ Yasmin Levy ~

I was a tourist in some South American country, not really sure which one.

It was a sunny and warm day, and I had just finished exploring the cute little village on top of the

mountain with the assistance of a tourist guide. I was carrying two bags full of souvenirs

made by the locals to take back home with me to give to my loved ones.

The personal guide that I had hired for the day to show me around walked me up to

a young couple who were supposed to take over the guidance. Both were very young, maybe

twenty-two, twenty-four the most. She was slim with beautiful long black hair,

beautiful tan skin, and a beautiful and contagious smile. He was tall with blondish hair

down to his shoulders and beautiful, full lips like those on Angelina Jolie's face. 

Not really sure if they were a couple or just a couple of good friends, but one thing

for sure was now they were my new guides for the rest of the day and part of the night.

I stood with them by their small, white car that was facing the road

that would take us to the village below. Once the three of us were inside the car, we started driving

down the mountain at a medium speed. The way down was very steep, almost like a

wall. Also, as we continued making our way down, I noticed in the distance like a heavy, dark fog,

making it impossible to see what was ahead. I was terrified but kept quiet since the young couple

seemed to be perfectly okay, as if they had done this kind of down-driving a thousand times.

I was holding tight to the seat, pushing both my feet down as if trying to slow down the car so we

wouldn't trip over and roll down.

At some point, the darkness that I had seen ahead of us now surrounded us completely, as if all

the car windows had been painted with black paint, not allowing us to see anything outside the car.

Still, the young couple remained chilled, singing and laughing while I was holding

for my life in the back seat with my eyes closed.

Finally, we reached the bottom of the mountain, and as I opened my eyes, I was amazed at the

beauty before me. It was like a tropical paradise, with multi-colorful flowers and enormous green trees

all around, and perfectly crystal water where every single grain of sand could be appreciated.

My guides got out of the car and began walking away from me without even saying goodbye.

As I stepped out of the car, I was drawn to a building to my left about two blocks away.

I began to walk slowly toward it, and as I began to get closer and closer to the building,

I began to hear what seemed to be dozens and dozens of moans coming from inside.

Once I reached the building, I noticed there was no door, just an open space with easy access

for anyone interested in entering. And so I did...

I had just stepped one foot inside and immediately I was greeted by a strange sight.

I noticed dozens and dozens of people engaged in sexual acts of all kinds. For some reason, they all

seemed to be moaning in exaggeration, loud and long moans, as if in a competition of who could moan

the longest and loudest. However, this wasn't the strangest part of what I was seeing and hearing.

I noticed that every single man in the building had a big and very wide shape, like a sumo wrestler

and their facial features were also very similar, almost like twins, but somehow not completely alike.

Now the women also shared a similar body shape, but unlike the men, theirs were extremely thin,

more like Olive Oyl from Popeye. And just as the men, their facial features were also very similar

but with very small differences.

I stood at that door for a few seconds, hypnotized by what I was seeing, not necessarily by the

sexual acts, but more by the interesting differences and similarities among the people there.

Then suddenly, I snapped out of it and realized what I was doing. I was watching people having sex!

And feeling very embarrassed, I walked away.

This is the dream I had three days ago. ;)

Thanks For Reading!

Much love,

Lori Novo

“A female is a thing, something cold, empty. But a woman, a woman has that gleam in her eye.

The mix of compassion, softness, gentleness, grace, yet intense passion, 

a smile of playfulness one moment and mystery the next. Light, ay, a woman is light.”

Today, I started my weekend shopping early, you know, trying to take advantage of all

weekend sales like Fifty Linden Friday, 99 Sale, Fly Buy Friday, etc. Too many to mention.

My first stop today was to ALEUTIA ] Main Store (Moderate) where I saw all the beautiful

women in the pictures below. All different in their fashion style, yet we all had one thing in common

for sure... we all wanted the Peggy Dress.

I parked my little butt outside on a bench while I kept seeing girls just come and go non-stop,

and I kept thinking WOW! I was amazed at how with all our differences we get to make our world 

more beautiful and interesting. Can you imagine how it would be if we all looked and

dressed the same? BORING! However, all these ladies' styles can serve as inspiration to other

women like myself that struggle when it comes to putting an outfit/look together.

As I always say, never 100% copy but duplicate what you see in your own way. A BIG shout-out 

to all these beautiful ladies!

Thanks For Reading My Beautiful People!

Much love,

Lori Novo

Somewhere In The Dead South

Hello Beautiful World!

Don't you just feel spoiled when you get a lot of what you like?

Give me more... more... more...

And that is exactly what she does. She just keeps giving us more and more.

Does that mean that she loves us so much that the giving has no end?

This is a HUGE shout-out to our Cica Ghost that keeps creating these amazing sims.

So creative, fun, magical, and all the rest of the cool adjectives you can think of.

Welcome

this is

Somewhere by Cica Ghost

(Moderate)

AAAAHHHHH

you are killing me with your beautiful sims, I feel so spoiled and loved. ;)

HIT IT BAYER & LUCIANO!

You Are My Sunshine

~ The Dead South ~

♫ 

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You'll never know, dear, how much I love you

Please, don't take my sunshine away...

♫ 

Grey skies and dead trees Somewhere in Second Life, and a beautiful couple playing music in the

middle of it all, what more can you ask for. BAYER (leeelife) and Luciano Viana (v127976) added 

entertainment to all comers in this dry land. They surely made me look twice as I walked by them

but then again, I had already spotted Luciano's orange shorts from a mile away. He was the only one

wearing a bright color that couldn't go unmissed.

OUCH, my eyes!

His orange shorts were the primary attraction to all visitors since they were the only thing that stood out

in this dry land. "What is that?" I could almost hear the people around me saying. But once you dare

get closer to them, you then would realize it was two beautiful people, in a beautiful moment, adding

color and music to the already beautiful, but colorless land.

♫ 

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

So I bowed my head and I cried...

♫ 

Is this the south, where I live (South Texas)?

Where home yards are so dry that even the trees look for some shade from the hot sun?

Where temperatures can reach the three-digit degree most days during summertime, like yesterday and the

day before and the rest of the days in the past months?

Where you can fry eggs on the sidewalk and melt an ice cube in less than 10 seconds?

Where you need to take showers at least five times a day just so you won't stink like a skunk?

NO! it's not South Texas but The Dead South, that could easily be a perfect name for Cita's new

sim Somewhere.

The Dead South is a band I just discovered when I was working on my Roasted Lambs & Lazy Cats

blog post back in June. I immediately fell in love with their music and can't stop listening to them now.

This band is a group of four Canadian friends that got together back in 2012 to make folk-bluegrass

music. The band members have changed a little since they first started but their music continues to

be just as amazing as on the first day.

♫ 

You told me once, dear, you really loved me

And no one else could come between

But now you've left me to love another

You have shattered all of my dreams...

♫ 

This is all for now my beautiful people.

Now go out there and fry an egg, I mean, go pay a visit to Somewhere by Cica Ghost.

Another beautiful sim from this incredible artist. And remember, if you can, show some

Linden love during your visit. All donations, big and small are so greatly appreciated.

Hot HOT Hot

Sunny Day!

Much Love,

Lori Novo
